Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.



On July 28, 2016, Evans Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”) issued a press release setting forth its results of operations and financial condition for the second quarter of 2016.  A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.



Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.



On July 26, 2016, the Company revised the Evans Bancorp Inc., Executive Severance Plan, which provides certain executives (“Participants”), including Robert G. Miller, Jr. Executive Vice President of Evans Bank, President of The Evans Agency, and Secretary of Evans Bancorp, and John B. Connerton, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Evans Bank and Treasurer of Evans Bancorp, with severance pay if their employment is involuntarily terminated without cause.  The severance pay equals the Participant’s base salary, determined as of the date of termination, for twelve (12) months, plus the Participant’s short term incentive amount at the target level pro-rated for the time during the year in which the Participant was actively employed by the Company.  In addition, for a twelve (12)-month period following the termination of employment, Evans will reimburse the Participant for outplacement services in an amount not to exceed $5,000.  The benefits will be reduced to the extent to avoid treatment as a "golden parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Executives who receive such severance benefits will be subject to customary non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions for one year following their termination of employment and are required to sign a general release of all claims against the Company in order to receive the severance benefits.

The foregoing description of the Executive Severance Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the plan document attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, of this Current Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02





Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
